It's all about energy. The idea of a spiritual bath is to soak your body while meditating on a purpose. The best part of the spiritual bath is that you can really make it your own: from the ingredients you fill the bath with and the music you choose, to the scents of the candles and the specific purposes you choose to focus on.

PREPARE THE ENVIRONMENT

Set the sound with quiet music (Spotify has a great meditation playlist if you're stuck with inspiration). Light candles, which are the perfect way to set the spiritual mood in your bathroom. Then if you want to take it up a notch, try using a diffuser or incense, which have some fantastic aromatherapy benefits such as reducing anxiety, stress, depression, and headaches.

ADD CRYSTALS

Crystals are thought to help carry energy around our bodies, absorbing negative energy, moving blockages and transmitting positive energy. By placing crystals around the tub, you can harmonize the chakras and elevate your level of calm. If you are not familiar with the subject, try Amethyst, which offers an immune boost, helps with intuition, reduces negative energy influences and balances emotions.

GREEN LIGHT FOR THE LAST INGREDIENTS

As a final step, the girls on TikTok added Florida Water, a spiritual water designed to enhance the art of rituals, but the possibilities are endless. Dry skin? Add a few drops of melaleuca oil. Sensitive skin? Epsom salt or Himalayan salt help soften psoriasis-affected skin, relieve sunburn or help with bruises or sprains. Oily skin? Lemons can help. If you're feeling romantic, you can also add some rose petals, bay leaves, sage, mint and lavender, which help reduce stress, relax stiff muscles and help with digestive problems.
